paramām

युञ्जन्नेवं सदाऽऽत्मानं योगी नियतमानसः

paramām — supreme

Keeping the self constantly so joined, the practitioner with a disciplined mind reaches the peace that is the highest release, and dwells in me.

आत्मौपम्येन सर्वत्र समं पश्यति योऽर्जुन

paramaḥ — highest

One who sees everywhere as they see themselves, Arjuna — in joy or in sorrow alike — that one is held to be the highest practitioner.

ओमित्येकाक्षरं ब्रह्म व्याहरन्मामनुस्मरन्

paramām — the supreme

uttering the single syllable Om — Brahman — and remembering me, one who departs on leaving the body goes to the highest.

मामुपेत्य पुनर्जन्म दुःखालयमशाश्वतम्

paramām — highest

Having come to me, the great-souled ones do not return to birth, which is a dwelling of pain and does not last.

अव्यक्तोऽक्षर इत्युक्तस्तमाहुः परमां गतिम्

paramām — the supreme

That unmanifest and imperishable is called the highest destination. Having reached it, one does not return. It is my own abode.

चिन्तामपरिमेयां च प्रलयान्तामुपाश्रिताः

paramāḥ — the purpose of life

Given over to endless anxiety that ends only at death, holding the gratification of desire to be the highest thing, certain that this is all,

असक्तबुद्धिः सर्वत्र जितात्मा विगतस्पृहः

paramām — highest

One whose understanding is unattached everywhere, who has mastered themselves and is free of longing, reaches by renunciation the highest state beyond action.
